Taking Space, the all female exhibiting group, will be showing at the Crypt Gallery at the Mariners Church, St Ives from 26th June to 9th July. Opening times are from 10.30am till 5.30pm. All 12 current members of the group will be exhibiting this year. They will be showing an eclectic and exciting selection of their work.
Four new members are exhibiting this year. Kate Penn specialises in constructionist art influenced by Cornwall’s prehistoric and industrial past. Jean Ross uses various different media in her portraits and animal studies, and also takes commissions. Joan Ford paints in oils, capturing fleeting effects, and interesting textures strong shapes in her work. Kay Willmot’s work includes ceramic prints/monoprint’s and paintings following a narrative theme of family life past and present.
Mary Fletcher, a founder member of the group, works directly from observation and experience in a variety of media, often inspired by music and dance, making work that is lively and contemporary. Helen Atkins, also working in various media, is inspired by the Cornish coastline and the ever changing sea. Sara Pound’s art is varied, she lets the subject of the work dictate the medium and style she uses, and particularly likes to capture Cornwall’s special quality if light. Karen Smith is a member of the Cornwall Watercolour Society. She also likes to explore other media and techniques, including collage. Sonia Sjöholm was born and brought up Cornwall and her art includes painting, printmaking and installation works. She has had a love of the sea from childhood, which comes through in much of her work. Beverley Le Levier works in various media, but chiefly in acrylics. Her work is colourful, and she is inspired by natural forms and plant life, producing both abstract and figurative art.
Diana Verboom is a photographer inspired by patterns and shapes, who collects images, usually in close up, to produce painterly abstract pictures. Helen Savage works in ceramics. Her sculptures of animals and people represent forms she likes and she also works to commission.
There will be a private view from 4pm to 6pm on 26th June which will give people an opportunity to take tea and cakes with the artists. |
